Celebrate Pride Month

Communities began recognizing June as Pride Awareness Month in 1969 when members of the LGBT community instigated a riot in response to police brutality aimed at LGBT people at a gay bar in New York City.

This refusal to sit silently in the face of regular, discriminatory abuse helped galvanize the LGBT community and their allies across the United States, giving birth to the modern LGBT rights movement.

Join us this month as we shine a light on LGBT cases around the world and further the cause of equality and human rights for all. Take action right now:

I saw this post about wanting to highlight LGBT cases around the world, and I'd like to share a project I'm working on. As an independent photographer I'm spending one year photographing Pride marches, especially in areas where it is more difficult to publicly display Pride. I focus on the human stories of each community. Please feel invited to view this body of work:
